You really can't justify consumption of plants and plant products because they are supposed to be used to make fuel for our vehicles and livestock.

Would you eat your dog's food? Would you drink your car's oil? I think not!

Vegetables on the other hand, are bland, full of fibrous nasties, and dem nasty vitamins...<ugh!>

Just deep fry the veggies and they'll taste fine.

In animal fat.

This makes no sense. A cow eats a huge number of plants to grow meat, so if you want to spare plants, you'd not eat meat...

I can't justify eating plants. I'd be taking food away from my cattle and rabbits.

I dunno though...I get a special pleasure out of hearing the carrots scream when I throw them into boiling water...

Meat is overrated. Bland. Veggies have lots of flavor.

I like to call the salad bar the second holocaust and the vegetarian menu is Schindler's List.

Just deep fry the veggies and they'll taste fine.

Preferably in animal grease.
